An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas? (1) Isothermal (2) Adiabatic (3) Isobaric (4) Isochoric

Solution: (2)

Because the adiabatic process has the largest area under the curve, the amount of work done on the gas is also the largest.
